Exploring a business incubator process
Incubators are useful tools to foster the launch of innovative start-ups. This paper investigates the process of an incubation model that supports entrepreneurs at an initial stage of their work through the development of a business plan from scratch with innovative tools. Specifically, we focus on the impact of the application of this methodology to a European project – IN-HABIT - involving 4 different cities in Europe. Based on a qualitative ap…
Living lab as support for co-creation of value
In addition to providing private goods such as food, fibre and biomass, agriculture can deliver a variety of environmental public goods and ecosystem services, such as biodiversity conservation, water filtering, carbon sequestration, and landscape aesthetics for recreation.

Distance Education for Supporting “Day One Competences” in Meat Inspection
Obtaining a Veterinary Surgeon degree relies on the acquisition of “Day One Competences” (DOCs), among which professional skills related to meat inspection are acquired during visits to abattoirs. In 2020, lockdown measures due to COVID-19 pandemic limited on-site practical training. The present study describes the creation of an e-learning course on bovine and swine slaughtering as an alternative tool for compulsory DOCs achievement within the c…

Urban Food Security and Landscape Change
This paper looks at cities as socio-technical systems consisting of patterns of interaction between actors, rules and artefacts. The issue of urban food security emerges as a key policy goal. This goal can be achieved through the coordination of a series of policies including territorial planning, commerce regulation, public procurement, health prevention and waste management. This paper discusses an example of how new narratives linking consumpt…
